IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

Item No.30 CIRCUIT BENCH AT JALPAIGURI Ct.No.3 dc.

Rejected C.R.M. (A) 909 of 2025 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023/Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 filed in connection with Alipurduar Women Police Station Case No. 74 of 2025 dated 01.09.2025 under Section 4 of the POCSO Act, 2012 read with Section 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. And In Re :

Parimal Ray @ Roy ... Petitioner.

Mr. Arijit Ghosh, Ms. Angana Rakshit ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Nilay Chakraborty, APP, Mr. Sagnik Sankar Sikdar ... For the State.

Affidavit-of-service filed in Court today be kept with the record.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that there is delay of four days in lodging the FIR and the fact of the case has been manufactured to settle scores. Learned advocate appearing for the State has produced the case diary.

I have taken into account the statement of the victim recorded under Section 183 of the BNSS as well as the attending circumstances. Having considered the same, I am of the view that this is not a fit case for granting anticipatory

bail to the petitioner. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is rejected.

The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM (A) 909 of 2025, is, thus, dismissed.

All concerned parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
